I made this for my brother so he could have sensors or equipment navigate over a microwell plate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtiter_plate
it might not be all that useful to anyone else but still I might as well put it up here if anyone is interested.
I added the sketchup model for any parts that I missed on the stl files so just use that to extract parts.
I’m not going in to a full assembly description but for more details you can have a look at this post over at LMR. It also has a video.

UPDATE:
Just now I got some information on the 28BYJ-48 steppers that I used and can verify that this is a problem. So for anyone trying to build a sub-mm accuracy XY table, please try finding other stepper motors.
This is the information I’m talking about;

The Sparkfun joysticks are great but their breakout board is a bit small so you can’t mount them using regular spacers. So I made this little bracket to hold the joystick and be easy to mount on a panel.

I had a hard time seeing if my stepper was moving so I made this. It’s actually quit fun to watch.

Make your own wax seal for all your important mail and invitations or give away as a gift.

In my current project I needed some Steampunk handles so I designed one in Sketch up. It has to be assembled on a 4mm rod but could probably easily be changed. The handle is not designed to take any load but is just ornamental. I probably will glue a couple on the sides of my monitor.

This is probably something that you SCAD guys (and girls) should have a go at as this would be great as a parametric model.

My SketchUp model is for the Flightmax 1000 LiPo battery but could probably be scaled to your needs. The walls are only 1mm thick but has enough strength to keep your battery in place. I did not add any mounting holes so it’s up to you to change the model. Mine will probably be glued in place.

On a personal note I must add that the print quality is great after I changed the settings for – Extra Shells- to zero.

This probably don’t need much description...
Print / mount on a stick (7mm diameter) / swat flies

This might not be all that interesting for people living anywhere else than in Norway but I add it all the same. Its a handle for the external valves we have here in Norway for our garden hoses. This one is designed for a 8x8mm center and I do believe there are other sizes.

When putting the ToM together it struck me that the timing belts looks a lot like tank treads when flipped inside out. I think small robots are fun so I decided to try making a chassis based on some 140XL timing belts.
This is the parts that I ordered for eBay;
[Edit] The 300RPM motors where no good as they had to little torque. So go for these;

I added a small project description over at LMR letsmakerobots.com/node/27218

I have this ‘Third hand’ thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/a4bb/ I never use the magnifying glass but would love to have a PCB vise. So I made this adaptation. It’s not the sturdiest of vises due to the Third hand base, but good enough for my work. I might make a full vise later on.

This device is probably not all that useable for anyone but me, but put it up here for inspiration.
I have this autonomous boat that is used for mapping the seafloor and as I recently bought a waterproof video camera and I thought it might be cool to have it mounted on the boat. The bracket is tilt able so I can have the camera mounted at any angle for straight ahead to straight down.
Here is a link to my project letsmakerobots.com/node/21098

This is a tool to find the center of any circular object between 10 and 60mm.

I’m new to the world of 3D printing and got a Thing-O-Matic for my upcoming 50 birthday. I have seen several other filament holders but wanted to make my own, and here it is.
I’m not into volume production so I don’t need an automated feed system. As the printer will be stored when not in use it had to be simple and I don’t mind pulling out the filament needed manually.
